Many hands make light work.

About

We are proud parents of North Star Navigators, dedicated to making North Star Elementary an exceptional school. Our PTO Board is elected annually, and we are always eager to welcome new members. If you're interested in getting more involved, please feel free to connect with any of our board members or reach out via email at info@northstarelementarypto.org.

These are the current open positions:

  • Book Fair Chair

  • Yearbook Chair

  • Volunteer Coordinator

Next year, several of our PTO members will be moving on, so we're actively seeking parents who are interested in joining the board!
